The Man versus the State

Herbert Spencer
Introduction by Terence Kealey
Philosopher and sociologist, Herbert Spencer (1820 – 1903) was the most prominent classical liberal political theorist of his age.
Best known for coining the concept "survival of the fittest", Spencer developed an all-embracing conception of evolution as the progressive development of the physical world, biological organisms, the human mind, culture and society. His authority was vast and polymathic, and his influence today, particularly in his contribution to positivism, classical liberalism and Social Darwinism remains indelible.
